Poetry and Self Knowledge


SamuelJWick

Recommended Posts

I often write out short poems to get a sense of my own emotional complexities and to feel something in times where I feel somewhat numb. I'd like to get a poetry topic going, I searched for one and couldn't find any. So this will be a topic for those who want to share poetry and comment on each other's.

 

 

Pain

 

Everyone I've ever known

Has left me to be alone

 

I'm desperate for connection

Of virtuous reflection

 

All I really wanted was love

And I was always left with a lack thereof

 

My head pounding with rage

heart aching in this cage

 

Rejected, neglected, and played

Dissected, elected and made

To feel as if I could trust

Completely blinded by lust

 

How do I escape this mental prison

Where are those with the keys?

To be from the dead risen

Is all I ask please.

Hey, thanks man. That song has a lot to do with what I'm going through now. I just finished high school and I'm trying to get in touch with myself. Because for a long time, feeling nothing and repressing my emotions and often even my thoughts seemed like the only way to get through it all. I appreciate the empathy!
